“From an early age I have been drawn to many different subjects and I have wanted to keep expanding my interests throughout the years. The result was that within the arts, I never chose just one medium. A predominant notion in the West, especially in the academic world, is the idea that focusing on one subject, one medium, and one question or issue, concentrating on one thing, will help obtain the best results. I looked for a term that encompasses the irony and clumsiness of a so-called all-rounder. In English this would be a ‘Jack of all Trades’ or ‘Master of None’. In almost every language a comparable expression exists. The image of someone who cannot help but reach out to touch everything possible, this is what the French ‘Touche-à-Tout’ embodies and why it serves not only as title for the installation, but as a representation of my own metamorphosis, my coming to accept my own identity. Being the person who presents the piece, who moves it and who will perform with it, I personally will fulfil an important role in the work. The piece will be transportable as luggage on an airplane or a boat and the size will be adapted accordingly. The installation can expand and unfold and its size will be alterable.” DK
